->> Wow, Chuck, that's really cool! How fortunate you are! Isn't the internet amazing??

How coincidental, just today I learned that beautiful young girls are waiting to meet ME right here in Fresno!!! 'Bout fell out of my chair! What did I do to befall such good fortune? AND this guy down in San Diego didn't bat an eye when I quoted him $10,000 to shoot a 4-hour wedding next month! All I have to do is deduct my fee from the check he's sending me, and send the rest to his wedding planner! Pretty simple chore, huh? AND I can get Viagra for a mere fraction of what I pay at Walgreen's!! Just in time for when I meet those beautiful young girls!! I can't wait!!

Ahh... the internet is a really cool place!! Aren't we lucky to have all these good things happen on the internet??

->> Chuck,

Just remember, after taxes that million will actually pay you around $600,000 or less. so, for you, with that massive journalism pay that is only a year's salary.

->> All is golden in SS land. Just last week I had multiple offers to buy the china cabinet I listed on craigslist. They were even going to send me extra via Western Union so I could pay the shipper. They must know Phil's friend from San Diego.

->> Chuck,

Is that US$1.2?


You have some cheap scammers. Just yesterday I won the Dutch lottery,which for some reason was being paid out at US$7.3mil rather than €5,765,000 (did Holland switch to the US$ and I missed it?)

->> I had a lot of fun with one of these guys by making up an equally bogus story about being the nephew of the sultan of dubai and having a lot of business in Nigeria and they wrote back to me trying to pull me in.

After the second contact, I found their original IP address in the long header of the email and found out that they were in Haiti. I then offered to meet them personally in Port au Prince with my "associates" to make the transaction.

They dropped the subject pretty fast after that.

Tons of fun when you know the internet better than the phishermen.

"Off topic

The original post can't be off-topic.......
